React Coroutine
npm install react-coroutine
Coroutines are computer program components that generalize subroutines for nonpreemptive multitasking, by allowing multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution at certain locations. Coroutines are well-suited for implementing more familiar program components such as cooperative tasks, exceptions, event loop, iterators, infinite lists and pipes.
— Wikipedia
Describe complex async state flows in your React components using only language features like generators, async functions, and async generators.
No API or new abstractions to learn, only JavaScript code as it intended to be.
Motivation
React Coroutine attempts to use basic and known language features for the sake of solving problems that are usually solved with APIs and new abstractions that require particular knowledge about them or, sometimes, about internal processes.
Examples
;;
{ try // Wait for async data and render it in the same way as plain components let users = await Users; return <UserList users=users />; catch error // Handle failures in place with just JavaScript tools return <ErrorMessage error=error />; } ;
{ // Use generators to provide multiple render points of your async component <p>Loading pokemonName info...</p>; // Easily import components asynchronously and render them on demand let default: PokemonInfo = await import'./PokemonInfo.react'; let data = await PokemonAPI; return <PokemonInfo data=data />;} ;
{ // Assuming cache.read() return a value from cache or Promise let movieData = movieCache; return <MovieInfo data=movieData />;} ;
